    For an iPhone 12 Pro meant to be 5G since November I’ve had this phone. Have i got any signs? Absolutely not. It’s now 3G @O2 bad crack.

  • LuckyTony72 🎃 🎃 Lucky Tony 🎃 🎃 (@LuckyTony72) reported from Hebburn, England

    @O2, any particular reason why signal for mobile data is so poor/pretty much non-existent in the NE30 area?

  • scoobyhugh8 Hugh Toner (@scoobyhugh8) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 I’m in Newcastle for the weekend and could hardly get a service, keeping jumping from 1 bar on 5G onto 3G, couldn’t get into social media or online due to it buffering. What a waste of time moving to you from EE

  • Slesss_ JoshSlesser (@Slesss_) reported from South Shields, England

  • gazza_d Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @WilliamNB @giffgaff @O2 Have you asked for a different SIM? Otherwise I'd be tempted to switch as there is so much more competition now. I don't like poor service.

  • scoobyhugh8 Hugh Toner (@scoobyhugh8) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 how can your service be so poor in a city centre.

    Oh @O2 quick to take the money slow to honour your contract.

  • JournoDWilliams David Williams (@JournoDWilliams) reported

    @NonnySJG @O2 @O2 exactly the same for me. O2 keep telling me to do this and that, nothing works, and it seems we just have to put up with it being bad. Signal where I work is absolutely useless.

  • TomStokes63 Tom Stokes (@TomStokes63) reported

    @O2 You won’t let me read your reply to my complaint because I have failed security… yet the complaint is about someone fraudulently accessing the account and changing the security! Do you get the issue?

  • AlMa5on Al Mason (@AlMa5on) reported

    @O2 is there issues with the myO2 app? Not recognising my loggin or the security code you send out.

  • toni_g1986 Toni @evidenceUKhomes (@toni_g1986) reported

    @O2 you've been taking my money and not giving me a service worth paying for, for 3 months now. THREE MONTHS. Can I either have my money back to go somewhere else or resolve the problem ASAP. Its NOT fair!
